Thank you
Yeah same feeling when i EQ s12 into s08. Sounds like a DD more, very low end emphasis .i think it provides good value for the package and the price.
The missing bit is how the bass reacts or how you perceive it. As I said, wasn't a fan of it out of the box and I think the dampening method adds more emphasis.
Ordered mine from Amazon and plan to “pull the foam out of it “ if it doesn’t have enough high end. I’ll listen to it first. I bought the black version. We will see. Thanks for the advice from your squig link on this one.
I pulled one out, the other was glued. Just loosen it first, they really jammed it in on mine. Its a warranty voiding move so didn't want to encourage it
Both the description and graph seems like the P1 Max with just a bit more bass, which sounds like a great IEM. I typically find planar IEMs have almost flat soundstage, which is the trade for the speed and detail.
If you play with EQ, you quickly learn how to add depth for your ears. I almost always tick 2-3k down, 200-400hz up. And you need to do that on the source you use as it changes with devices. I don't think it is planars that are flat, it is the tuning that makes them sound flat.
I love my Timeless AE
Timeless was up there in price, but it can still resolve like much more expensive sets. Someday we will see the Timeless 2
Thanks for the honest review 👍👍
Hot take... They should have considered using resin shells and cheaper accessories, price it around $60.
At $100 the price is a bit steep considering one can get two planar iems for that price and mod one with foam.
The shell looks nice, though...
I think their resin tends to be expensive, they would need to 3d print much like Galileo at that price. I think they wanted something special for their anniversary.
Makes sense.... Thanks 👍
My next set is likely going to be planar because I haven't heard the driver type yet. This tuning sounds like it's something I would like but it comes at the expense of why I want a planar in the first place. I've held off buying the S12/S12 pro in part because I'm worried about the treble being too much for me.
Right, you understand the issue. Everyone wanted something between S12 Pro and S08. Easier on the ears but still resolves like a planar.
Looking at graphs and listening to your description it seems very similar to hidizs mp145. According to graphs hidizs has a bit more energy up top, more in the upper treble.
MP145 did a better job at treble control without as much dampening. You could also use MP145 without the tip which was a more open sound
Hi Paul :)
Great review Paul, I wonder how similar the replay of the S08 as compared to the Aful Explorer..?
I will eventually hear Explorer but I think they are similar.
I was thinking the same thing, love my explorer and was wondering if this is similar but single planar
Perfect for loud volumes. Because at my 85db volume. The upper mids and treble goes up to 4 dB. So at my volumes. Perfect
I will say kinda perfect and alluded to why. Even at higher volumes or even with EQ, the foam still gets in the way on resolve. You will get farther along at 85db but you can void the warranty and look at the foam situation to dial it in.
@@PaulWasabiiwhat foam?
@@PaulWasabii you mean. Filter inside? Or placing a filter?

Lord knows I adore the sound of my Hidizs MP145 earphones, but unfortunately, I cannot achieve a proper seal in my left ear, and so, it is time for me to pass them on to someone who can put them to good use.
And, because I am a planar magnetic driver fanatic, I plan to order a pair of these Letshuoer S08 as soon as they are available in my usual online shop (Lazada), or at least when they can be bought using discount vouchers.
Paul, thank you for another wonderful earphone review! 👌
Reverend Dr. Thomas,

Vegan is that some sort of new chicken?? 😅
@@shamelessplace111, so funny...
....NOT.
@@ReverendDr.Thomas hey man am just poking at you a bit ... No harm intended
@@shamelessplace111
You are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology that supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is arguably the foremost existential crisis.🌱
Sir how does it Vs PR1 pro from kz hi end planar .
Fuck kz. Never buy that shit. You'll 100% have issues.
Very different sound than PR1 Pro. PR1P is quite bright, this is the opposite
How do these compare to the Artti T10? I think it's the same company (or similar to how KZ and CCA operate) that made both the S08 and T10? I have the T10 so if someone has both sets and can tell me if I should buy the S08 because they seem similar in tuning.
Don’t buy this if you have t10, you can play around with filters and tuning to get the t10 to tune like this. The t10 for me is also a bit wider and taller in soundstage with better techs but the s08 has a bit more forward vocals and is more natural sounding
As an s12 lover especially for the tech and treble do you think this is an alternative choice for planar sound ?
Its the compliment to S12 which has the tech and treble, S08 is the more natural but less tech and treble.
Adding foam is old tech. Should learn from KZ, they are using circuits to control the freq.
If only all IEM had a screwed brass nozzle with an interchangeable foam/filter inside like the Moondrop Chu II 😮💨
Planars where your listening experience is feeling 'boxed in" aren't worth the attention.
I didn't realize the Chu 2 had a removeable nozzle. I wish I hadn't sold mine. :(
@@ReverendDr.Thomas
The Chu II has a lower brass nozzle fixed to the shell and "bottle cap" brass cap screw on where the filter mesh is under the metal grill.
@@m_yy_m
Brass doesn't turn green if you store the Chu in a box with a little pack of silica gel to absorb humidity.
Can buy these packs by the dozen for all your IEMs
@@lasttempoinparis Thank you!
Incidentally, would you believe that, only a matter of a few seconds after reading your comments, I spotted an advertisement for silica gel? 🙂
I won't advocate it as you void the warranty, but the foam isn't hard to reach. Loosen it up or replace with less dense material
